Widowed in 1861, the grief-stricken Queen withdrew from public life and left Buckingham Palace to live at Windsor Castle, Balmoral Castle and Osborne House. For many years the palace was seldom used, even neglected. In 1864, a note was found pinned to the fence of Buckingham Palace, saying: "These commanding premises to be let or sold, in consequence of the late occupant's declining business." Eventually, public opinion forced the Queen to return to London, though even then she preferred to live elsewhere whenever possible. Court functions were still held at Windsor Castle, presided over by the sombre Queen habitually dressed in mourning black, while Buckingham Palace remained shuttered for most of the year.

News article: Economy shuffling toward recovery, reports indicate
NEW YORK The manufacturing sector grew for the fourth straight month in November, though at a slower pace, and questions remain about the staying power of the incipient economic recovery.
Signs the housing market was bouncing back in October were also tempered by a flat reading for construction spending for September in other data reported Tuesday.
The Institute for Supply Management said its index of national factory activity decelerated to 53.6 in November from 55.7 in October. The median forecast of 70 economists surveyed by Reuters was for a reading of 55.0 in November. Readings above 50 indicate expansion in the manufacturing sector, while numbers below 50 show contraction.
"We're basically four months into a somewhat weak recovery. It will take a while to spread across 18 manufacturing industries," said Norbert Ore, chairman of the ISM manufacturing business survey committee.
The ISM report was "a bit less-than-expected but overall still a strong number when added to the previous monthly levels that were greater than 50," said Tom Sowanick, chief investment officer with the Omnivest Group.
"Note that the China ISM was also up last night which confirms that we are in a global recovery," Sowanick added.
But the ISM report's employment index for the manufacturing industry slipped to 50.8 in November from 53.1 in October, which had been the strongest showing since April 2006.
"Given the number of manufacturing jobs lost and the number of facilities closed, rarely are those reopened. It will take more growth than we're seeing right now to create significant growth in manufacturing jobs," Ore said.
New manufacturing orders rose to 60.3 in November from a 58.5 reading in October.
Some economists warn that although the brisk rebound of new orders hints that capital spending will recover, because industrial output is so depressed, companies may not ramp up spending much, if at all.
In other data, more evidence appeared that U.S. housing may be slowly emerging from a three year slump.
Pending sales of previously owned U.S. homes rose unexpectedly to their highest level in 3-1/2 years in October, a survey showed, suggesting the housing market recovery was gaining steam.
The National Association of Realtors said its Pending Home Sales Index, based on contracts signed in October, rose 3.7% to 114.1, rising for a ninth straight month. This is the longest streak of gains since the series started in 2001.
The housing market, the main trigger of the worst U.S. recession on 70 years, is recovering from a three-year decline.
Housing construction contributed to economic growth in the third quarter for the first time since 2005. .
Recovery is being supported by the popular $8,000 tax credit for first-time buyers, low mortgage rates, and falling house prices. The government last month extended the tax incentive into next year and added a $6,500 credit for home owners buying a new residence. It had been due to expire on Nov. 30.
"The credit is helping unleash a pent-up demand from a large pool of financially qualified renters," said NAR economist, Lawrence Yun.
U.S. construction spending was flat overall in October at $910.8 billion despite the biggest surge in homebuilding in more than a decade, the Commerce Department said in a report that sharply revised the prior month's data. .
Instead of rising by 0.8% as it said a month ago, the Commerce Department now says September construction spending slumped by 1.6%, its sharpest monthly fall since a 2.8% decline last January.
Spending on homebuilding was up 4.4% in October, more than recovering from a 2.0% dip in September. It was the biggest monthly gain in private residential spending since a matching 4.4% rise in March 1998.

Summarize this article:
In order to become emo, you have to become aware of your emotions so you’re able to recognize them. Throughout the day, ask yourself how you’re feeling. For example, you might tell yourself, I’m angry, after you have a fight with your friend, or I’m sad, after you don’t do well on a test. Name your emotions as you experience them, and allow yourself to fully feel them. It’s also important to notice the intensity of your emotions. For example, you might be annoyed after a friend is late to meet you, mad when your sibling calls you names, and fuming when someone at school spreads a false rumor about you. Try to identify the full range of emotions that you feel from day to day. If you’re having trouble getting in touch with your emotions, it might help to keep a journal. At the end of each day, jot down the emotions that you felt and what caused them, so you can start to understand them better. When you’re emo, acknowledging your feelings doesn’t just mean crying when you’re sad or yelling when you’re angry. Try to find a creative outlet to express your emotions. Depending on your interests and talents, that might mean writing, drawing, painting, singing, or dancing. Find the most satisfying way to express how you feel, and do it regularly. If you want to use writing as a way to express your feelings, try your hand at writing poetry, short stories, and even songs. If you want to use art to express your feelings, draw or paint a scene that makes your emotions visual. If you enjoy singing and dancing, you can use the music of your favorite emo bands for inspiration. Emo teens tend to be introverted, which means they are drained by social interactions with other people. If you feel that way, it’s important to spend time by yourself so you can build your energy back up. Spending time alone also gives you more time to get in touch with your emotions and engage in creative pursuits, such as writing and drawing, that allow you to express your feelings. Don’t be afraid to tell your friends that you don’t feel like hanging out, or asking your parents if you can skip out on family TV night to spend time alone in your room. While some time for yourself is good for you, don’t assume that you should spend all of your time alone just because you’re emo and introverted. Spend time with friends and family who you’re comfortable sharing your feelings with when you feel up to it.
Summary:
|
Get in touch with your emotions. Express your emotions. Take time for yourself.

U.S. figure skating champion and Olympic medalist Gracie Gold is withdrawing from her scheduled competitions in the Grand Prix of Figure Skating next month while she is being treated for anxiety, depression and an eating disorder.
“It saddens me deeply to sit out this Grand Prix Series, but I know it is for the best,” she said in a statement to PEOPLE on Friday afternoon, adding, “I will not have adequate training time to prepare and compete at the level that I want to.”
“I would like to thank U.S. Figure Skating, my fans and my sponsors for their ongoing support,” her statement continued. “I also want to thank [coaches] Marina Zoueva and Oleg Epstein for standing beside me through this journey and most of all my family for their unconditional love.”
Last month, Gold — who earned a bronze medal on the U.S. figure skating team at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia — announced she would be “taking some time off” from her sport to “seek some professional help.”
“My passion for skating and training remains strong,” Gold said at the time. “However, after recent struggles on and off the ice, I realize I need to seek some professional help and will be taking some time off while preparing for my Grand Prix assignments.”
“This time will help me become a stronger person,” she continued, “which I believe will be reflected in my skating performances as well.”
She did not specify then what the nature of her struggles were. Her decision came after she was already promoting the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

The 22-year-old said in September that she would no longer compete in the Japan Open in October, as scheduled, but would appear in two Grand Prix events in November.
On Friday, she announced she would not appear at those either.
It was not immediately clear if she planned to compete for a spot on Team USA at the Winter Olympics in February. There are three spots open on the U.S. figure skating team for the women’s event there.
Those competitors will be chosen only a few weeks before the Games get underway, after the 2018 U.S. Figure Skating Championships end in January: A committee will select the athletes based on their performances from the 2017 World Figure Skating Championships through the U.S. championships.
“U.S. Figure Skating is in full support of Gracie,” a spokeswoman for the sport previously told PEOPLE, “and we would ask all to respect her privacy at this time.”
Despite two U.S. figure skating championships and her medal-winning Olympic performance, Gold finished sixth at the 2017 national championships in January, only a year after winning her second U.S. title.
“When she was skating well, she was magical,” former coach Frank Carroll told USA Today last month.
He said of Gold, “You said to yourself, ‘Oh my God, she’s gorgeous. She looks like a movie star. She has such joie de vivre.’ Then you ask yourself what happened to that. I hope she can find happiness.”
Gracie Gold
Last year, according to USA Today, Gold discussed the body weight pressures she’s faced — as other Olympic skaters have been public about their own challenges.
“You just don’t see overweight figure skaters for a reason,” Gold said. “It’s just something I’ve struggled with this whole year and in previous seasons. It’s just difficult when you’re trying to do the difficult triple jumps. It’s something that I am addressing, but it’s obviously not where it should be for this caliber of competition.”
Previously asked about returning for the Winter Games in 2018, Gold struck an optimistic tone, saying in 2014, “I definitely have two Olympics in me; I don’t know about three Olympics.”
Friend and fellow Olympic figure skater Ashley Wagner sounded support for Gold during a media summit for Team USA in Park City, Utah, in September.
“Taking a step back and actually taking time to focus on herself, as an athlete that’s one of the hardest decisions to make,” she said. “It really is just a statement to how strong that girl is, and people don’t give her enough credit for that.”
“To be able to take a step back during your Olympic season, that just goes to show how much she needed a change,” Wagner said of Gold. “Whenever anyone is ever willing to get help to fix their lives, that’s admirable and never something that should be questioned.”

Figure skater Gracie Gold is in treatment for an eating disorder, depression and anxiety. She has withdrawn from her next two scheduled competitions in November.
“It saddens me deeply to sit out this Grand Prix Series, but I know it is for the best,” Gold said in a statement. “I am currently in treatment for depression, anxiety and an eating disorder. I will not have adequate training time to prepare and compete at the level that I want to. I would like to thank U.S. Figure Skating, my fans and my sponsors for their ongoing support. I also want to thank [coaches] Marina [Zoueva] and Oleg [Epstein] for standing beside me through this journey and most of all my family for their unconditional love.”
Gold, a Sochi Olympic team bronze medalist and two-time U.S. champion, will not compete at Cup of China or Internationaux de France, her two Grand Prix assignments in November.
She has no scheduled international competitions at the moment. The PyeongChang Olympic team will be chosen after the U.S. Championships in January.
On Sept. 1, Gold announced she was taking time away from figure skating to seek unspecified professional help.
Gold, the top American woman at the Sochi Olympics in fourth place, has not been the same skater since dropping from first after the 2016 World Championships short program to finish fourth, again just missing her first individual global medal.
She considered skipping the fall 2016 Grand Prix season, talking openly about physical struggles and even depression in that offseason.
The 22-year-old last competed at the U.S. Championships in January, placing a disastrous sixth.
She split from coach Frank Carroll at nationals. Gold then announced in February that she moved to Michigan to train under new coaches Zoueva and Epstein.
Then on Sept. 1, Gold announced she was taking a leave. She withdrew from her first event of the season, the Japan Open on Oct. 7.
“My passion for skating and training remains strong,” Gold said in the reported Sept. 1 statement. “However, after recent struggles on and off the ice, I realize I need to seek some professional help and will be taking some time off while preparing for my Grand Prix assignments. This time will help me become a stronger person, which I believe will be reflected in my skating performances as well.”
If and when Gold returns this season, she will be behind in the race for three Olympic spots. They will be earned based not only on nationals but also recent domestic and international events.
The favorites are 2014 Olympian Ashley Wagner, 2010 Olympian Mirai Nagasu and reigning U.S. champion Karen Chen.

MORE: Wagner details dropping ‘La La Land’ free skate ||||| Two-time United States figure skating champion Gracie Gold has withdrawn from her scheduled Grand Prix Series events next month, citing ongoing treatment for "depression, anxiety and an eating disorder.''
"It saddens me deeply to sit out this Grand Prix Series, but I know it is for the best,'' Gold said in a statement released to the media late Friday afternoon. "I will not have adequate training time to prepare and compete at the level that I want to.
"I would like to thank U.S. Figure Skating, my fans and my sponsors for their ongoing support. I also want to thank [coaches] Marina [Zoueva] and Oleg [Epstein] for standing beside me through this journey and most of all my family for their unconditional love."

The announcement by Gold, 22, makes it unlikely she would be able to bid for a spot on the U.S. team for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Grand Prix results, along with results at world and national championships, are an important factor in team selection.
Gold finished fourth in individual competition at Sochi 2014 and helped the U.S. win a bronze medal in co-ed team competition.
Gold first announced she was taking a break from the sport in September, when she pulled out of a lead-up event in Japan. She said at that time she was seeking professional help for unspecified reasons, hoping it would help her "become a stronger person.''
The Springfield, Illinois, native had been slated to compete in the Cup of China and the Internationaux de France in November. U.S. Olympic team selections -- including three slots for individual women -- will be announced after the national championships in early January.
Gold won nationals in 2014 and 2016, but her form and confidence sagged visibly after placing fourth at the spring 2016 world championships in Boston, where she had led after the short program. Last season, she made a public reference to weight and body image struggles, split with her coach Frank Carroll after finishing sixth at nationals, and subsequently moved to the Detroit area to work with Zoueva and Epstein.
Ashley Wagner, the three-time U.S. champion whose rivalry with Gold has warmed into a friendship over the last year, praised Gold for her decision last month at the U.S. Olympic media summit.
"Taking a step back and actually taking time to focus on herself - as an athlete, that is one of the hardest decisions to make,'' Wagner told reporters. "It really is just a statement to how strong that girl is. People don't give her enough credit for that.
"She was talking to [fellow skater] Adam (Rippon) and I before she decided to take a step back. It was a really good conversation, her head was in the place where she wanted to feel better. It's beyond her being an athlete at this point, it's about how she is as a person. The fact that she's able to acknowledge that she needs to get back to a level sense of self takes a lot of guts.'' |||||
Summary:
|
– When figure skater Gracie Gold announced she'd be taking a leave of absence from the sport "to seek some professional help," she expected to be back in time for her Grand Prix assignments next month. Now, she has announced she's withdrawing from those competitions as well, as more details come out about what she's being treated for. Gold is being treated for anxiety, depression, and an eating disorder, People reports, and she said Friday, "I will not have adequate training time to prepare and compete at the level that I want to. ... It saddens me deeply to sit out this Grand Prix Series, but I know it is for the best." It's not clear whether she plans to compete for spot on Team USA for February's Winter Olympics, but ESPN reports such a bid would now be "unlikely" and NBC Sports says that if she does compete, she'll be "behind in the race" for the three spots. (Gold has a history of discussing struggles with her weight.)

A student used the dimmest setting on a light microscope to observe a euglena and an amoeba. The student shined a narrow beam of light at the top of the cover slip. She observed that the euglena swam up toward the light but the amoeba did not. She knew the amoeba was alive because it slowly changed shape while she watched. What inference should the student draw from her observation?

Background: Goldfrapp are an English electronic music duo from London, formed in 1999. The duo consists of Alison Goldfrapp (vocals, synthesizer) and Will Gregory (synthesizer). Despite favourable reviews and a short-listing for the Mercury Prize, their 2000 debut studio album Felt Mountain did not chart highly. Goldfrapp's second album Black Cherry, which incorporated glam rock and synthpop sounds into their music, was released in 2003.
Context: Supernature, Goldfrapp's third album, was released in August 2005. The album comprises pop and electronic dance music prominently featured on Black Cherry, but focuses more on subtle hooks instead of the large choruses that made up its predecessor. The band never intended to create dance music, however, previous releases were popular across nightclubs in North America and as a result, they decided to write a more dance-oriented album. Supernature debuted at number two on the UK Albums Chart and was certified platinum in the UK. As of February 2008, it had sold one million copies worldwide. The album received a Grammy Award nomination in 2007 for Best Electronic/Dance Album and "Ooh La La" was nominated for Best Dance Recording. The song was used for the iPhone 5S's commercial in 2013. "Ooh La La", the album's lead single, became Goldfrapp's first UK top five single. The song was chosen as the lead single "because it was up and in your face and carried on the theme of the glammy, discoey beat from the last album". "Ooh La La" became the first song performed by the band to feature the electric guitar and was cited as a highlight of the album by Allmusic. "Number 1" was released as the album's second single. Constructed around a synthesiser and bass arrangement, it was written about the importance of relationships. The album's third single "Ride a White Horse" was inspired by the disco era and reached number 15 in the UK. "Fly Me Away" was released as the album's fourth single, but did not perform as well as its predecessors. In 2006, Goldfrapp released We Are Glitter, a North American-only compilation of remixes from Supernature. It included a Flaming Lips remix of "Satin Chic", the band's favourite song from the album.

Secret Service officers reportedly posted at White House without proper clearance
June 9, 2015: A member of the Secret Service Police looks toward the West Wing of the White House in Washington during an evacuation of the media area of the White House because of a bomb threat. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster)
Several newly hired Secret Service officers have been posted in sensitive locations, including the White House, without receiving the proper security clearances, according to a published report.
The Washington Post reported late Tuesday that Secret Service Director Joseph Clancy admitted to Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., that some of the new hires had not completed the required national security clearance process. Meadows, a member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, told the paper he raised the issue after being informed by a whistleblower that newly hired officers had sat in on White House meetings where classified information was presented.
It was not immediately clear what information the uncleared officers may have had access to.
Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary told the paper that the agency expected to issue all outstanding security clearances by Friday. Another Secret Service official told the paper that agency staff were dealing with an "administrative backlog" brought about by a higher-than-average rate of new hires.
The official said that between four and five dozen officers did not have the clearances when the issue was raised with Clancy by Meadows last week. Of those, the official said a little more than two dozen were posted at the White House. Spokesman Leary told the Post that only ten officers did not have clearances did not have the proper clearances.
The Post reports that the Secret Service began a push to recruit new officers after series of highly publicized security lapses at the White House. In the most notable incident Sept. 19, a man jumped the White House fence and made it inside the executive mansion before being apprehended.
Meadows told the Post that he found the rapid response by the Secret Service to his query "very puzzling" after the agency had apparently let the security issue slide for so long.
"Without the clearance, you could share information by mistake," the congressman said. "I trust everyone on my staff, but there are only a few with a top-secret clearance. They know the zero tolerance that any of us have for inappropriately sharing this information"

Review: I first saw this film in 1980 in the midday movie spot. After many subsequent viewings (and purchase of the video) it still makes me laugh out loud.
Yes, it's a relic of another age - a domestic comedy set in affluent middle class America - but well executed is well executed. But it's also a document of its age - a celebration of post-war optimism, the baby boom and the nascent consumer age. This film is no "guilty" pleasure.
Three wonderful sophisticated leads actors - urbane Melvyn Douglas; bemused Cary Grant; daffily determined Myrna Loy - complement each other and a memorable team of characters.
My favourite scenes - "It means we gotta blast" and "Miss Stellwaggen" and "This little piggy".
Love it.

The army has been deployed to rescue thousands of stranded people after two days of heavy rain.
At least 188 people are now known to have died in floods in Tamil Nadu state since last month.
A depression in the Bay of Bengal has triggered rains in coastal areas.
Last month, non-stop rain for nearly a week brought the city to a standstill.
Two days of fresh rains have again led to massive flooding, so much so that flights from the city's airport have been indefinitely suspended after flood waters entered the runway and tarmac areas on Tuesday evening.
Reports say some 400 passengers are stranded at the airport, and all flights have been cancelled.
More than a dozen trains have also been cancelled after flood waters inundated the tracks.
The army and the National Disaster Response Force have been deployed in the city's worst-affected southern suburbs to rescue people stranded in their flooded properties.
At least 10,000 policemen and swimmers have also been employed in the rescue effort, Chennai police chief JK Tripathy told the AFP news agency.
"The police want to help but there are no boats. We are trying not to panic," Ramana Goda, who took refuge at a police station, told Reuters.
Reports say that power supply has been suspended in nearly 60% of the city's neighbourhoods.
Most of the main streets are waterlogged and schools were closed for the 17th day since November, reports say. Schools and colleges have been shut in six districts due to the rains.
Patients have been evacuated from a government hospital in the Tambaram area after flood waters entered the building.
Residents have taken to social media to offer accommodation, food and mobile phone recharges to citizens who are being forced to evacuate their properties.
"We only saw rains like this some 25-30 years ago when there was no electricity for almost a week. It has been raining since Monday night and there has been no respite. Everywhere you look, there is two to three feet of water,'' Ashok Modi, a resident of Sowcarpet area told BBC Hindi's Imran Qureshi.
All the reservoirs around Chennai are full and the rivers are flooded with the excess waters released from the reservoirs, says the BBC Tamil's Muralitharan in Chennai.
Thousands of people who were living on the banks of these rivers have been moved to temporary shelters.
The meteorological office says "scattered to heavy" rains are expected to continue for the next three days.
India suffers severe flooding every year during the annual monsoon rains from June to September. The retreating monsoon has been particularly vigorous over south India and more so in Tamil Nadu, our correspondent says.

1. Téchiné has made a half-captivating, half-baffling tease of a movie in which one woman's destructive whim has the effect of making anti-Semitism look like a myth.
2. Feels like two different films cobbled together, without much to connect one to the other...the disconnect between the two is huge.
3. There might have been deeper currents of envy and displaced shame to plumb in the case of Girl on the Train, but for once this reliably penetrating filmmaker hasn't found them.
4. ...exuberant but unfocused drama about a recent French news story that caused a sensation before being exposed as bogus. Jewish-themed elements may also help fill seats.
5. A complex and well-acted French film about lying and other deceptions that bring dark clouds and bad weather into the lives of the characters
6. Though told with verve and acted with diamond-like preciseness, it never plumbs the core of its story, and so risks being as serene and unreflective as Jeanne herself
7. Techine glosses over the story's most potent issue: France's complicated relationship with its Jewish community.
8. Given several years' distance from the media blitz, Téchiné brings clarity, maturity, and perspective to the case while still subtly addressing all the thorny social issues the affair touched off.
9. It is Dequenne who holds the film together -- she and Téchiné's youthful touch, which belies his 66 years.

Coming off a divisional road win over the Falcons, the Panthers went home, donned their alternate uniforms, and prepared for another NFC South fight, as Carolina dueled with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the division lead on the line. With QB Jake Delhomme unable to start with an elbow injury on his throwing arm, QB David Carr was given the start. In the first quarter, the Panthers struggled as Buccaneers QB Jeff Garcia got a 3-yard TD run, while RB Earnest Graham got a 1-yard TD run. In the second quarter, Carolina continued to struggle as kicker Matt Bryant got a 25-yard field goal for the only score of the period. After a scoreless third quarter, Tampa Bay sealed the win with Bryant nailing a 38-yard field goal. Afterwards, the Panthers would get their only score of the game with Carr completing a 24-yard TD pass to RB DeAngelo Williams.

Write an article based on this summary:
A member of a gang in Niger says Boko Haram Islamist militants from Nigeria regularly come across the border, looking for recruits.
Article:
|
"We can't contact them, they come to us," says the young man, who looks like he is barely out of his teens.
Five members of this gang in Diffa, near the border, have joined the group; two have since been killed on operations, he says.
In total there are about a dozen gang members in a tiny, dark room, built with local mud-bricks.
There are a couple of homemade stools and weights for them to exercise just outside the door.
When I ask if they agree with Boko Haram's reason for fighting, they answer in unison: "No. We only do it for the money."
They had agreed to meet us earlier on a street corner in Diffa.
Arriving one by one, they all wore skinny jeans, bright coloured T-shirts and shiny chains - like those seen around the necks of American rappers on music videos.
Their attitude and brand new clothes make them stand out when they walk down the dusty streets of Diffa.
The fashion style is clearly inspired by Western consumerism rather than Islamist militancy.
The gang members agreed to talk to us on the condition that we would not reveal their identity.
"We break into houses for cash; sometimes we beat people for money, we steal their animals so we can eat and then we gather up and take Tramol [an opiate drug], smoke ganja [marijuana] and drink alcohol," one says.
"We have no jobs; some of us are still at high school but we need money. Violence has become a form of work for us."
Taking us back to their hangout, they explained their association with the Nigerian militants.
"They have paid 500,000 Nigerian naira ($3,085, £1,835) to those of us who followed them over there," one of the young men says.
"The rest of us, here, we give them information.
"When they come, we inform them about what's going on, what the security forces are up to."
But the ideals for which Boko Haram is fighting - the imposition of strict Sharia, an Islamist caliphate and the banning of Western education - hold no interest for them.
Officials in the region say that several attacks allegedly planned by Boko Haram on Niger's territory have been foiled over the last months; and dozens of men suspected to have links to the group have been arrested.
"We know that Boko Haram members come across the border, but we are watching them closely," Diffa government representative Inoussa Saouna, says.
"Just last December, we arrested two dozens of men - we believe they were planning to kidnap the regional governor, the military zone commander and myself."
Military police, customs officers, as well as national guards conduct daily patrols along the porous border to mitigate the threat.
On paper, the border is supposed to be secured by joint patrols with soldiers from both countries. However, they have yet to start.
Niger's security forces are receiving training, logistics and intelligence support from both the US and France.
Most of the border between Niger and Nigeria is naturally drawn by the Komadougou Yobe River.
On either side of it, people have enjoyed strong links for centuries, sharing ethnicity, culture and living off the cross-border trade.
At the Bosso border point, many people cross on foot through water knee-high as the river is at its lowest level in the hottest month of the year.
It allows motorbikes and cars to drive through easily too.
Most cars showing Nigerian plates come from Borno State bearing the slogan "Home of peace".
But this seems a reality long gone for the north-eastern state where Boko Haram was born and has its bases.

Why Nigeria has not defeated Boko Haram
The UN refugee agency says more than 50,000 people have now crossed into Niger, fleeing the relentless violence.
Human rights groups estimate that more 1,500 people have been killed in the north-east of Nigeria since the start of the year alone.
In the small Niger village of Guessere - a 45-minute drive from Diffa - we found half the population of Gashagar, a Nigerian village located only 3km (2 miles) over the river.
Abdou Dotia says people decided it was time to leave after the Islamist militants attacked Gashagar for the fourth time, in January.
Eight people were killed and dozens of shops and cars were burnt down.
As he points his finger towards Nigeria, Mr Dotia explains that the border should keep them safe for now.
On Lake Chad, the south-eastern tip of Niger, Nigerians are also fleeing by boat.
The UN estimates 500 cross into Niger every week.
The many lake islands are now home to thousands, and a lot of people, like Mourtalla Souleymane, have made it to the trading post of Krikri on Niger's shore.
He arrived last month with his two wives and six children and works on the huge wooden canoes that traders use to cross between the two countries.
"I was going to bed when we heard the first gun shots," Mr Souleymane says, recalling the time they were forced to flee.
"When we ran to escape, a little girl was shot as she fled her burning house."
He says he counted 50 dead in the streets and recalls a group of wounded soldiers, three of whom had had their hands amputated.
Niger has a growing refugee crisis but without camps, which the authorities are reluctant to allow, fearing they could become new targets, or worse, recruitment centres for Boko Haram.
But how many more people can one of the poorest countries in the world take in? Borno state has a population of five million - 10 times more than Niger's Diffa region.
The UN refugee agency says it will try to build new homes and expand existing neighbourhoods rather than setting up camps.
Drought and hunger have made communities in Niger vulnerable; coups and rebellions have made the country unstable.
This fragile state is now threatened by an insurgency next door that is fuelled by extreme poverty and neglect, conditions which both exist here.
"There is no reason why it wouldn't spill over the border," says a Western diplomat, who declined to be named.
"But in Niger, at least, there isn't this dynamic where security forces drive populations into Boko Haram's arms."
The heavy-handed and often indiscriminate response of the Nigerian security forces to the Islamist insurgency has long been criticised.
The Diffa government politician believes that the emergency rule in place in north-eastern states of Nigeria has not changed anything over the last year.
"It has radicalised Boko Haram more than anything else and generated other gangs and groups of bandits," Mr Saouna says.
The young gang members we met in Diffa showed us a stash of machetes, knives, knuckle-dusters and traditional axes. They also claimed to have firearms and grenades but refused to show them.
In a report published this month, the Brussels-based think-tank International Crisis Group noted that Boko Haram has "resorted to forced conscription and recruiting criminals and thugs, paying them for attacks".
Boko Haram has shown that it can hit the Nigerian state in different ways: Bombs, village raids, school attacks and child abductions.
For now, Nigeria's neighbours are only dealing with the consequences of this violence.
But the prospect of the same violence spilling over is becoming more of a question of "not if but when".
"If they tell you to set off a bomb and it succeeds, if it kills a lot of people, they will pay you a lot of money," one of the gang members said.
"We are ready for that."

In Colombia, the drug-financed guerrillas trying to seize the country and destroy democracy include M-19, which Castro has clearly backed. Robert Merkel, a former U.S. attorney handling drug indictments in Florida, doesn't think for a minute that Castro's much publicized trials of high officials engaged in the drug trade mean he has broken off with the Medellin drug cartel. "If the cartel succeeds in blackmailing the Colombian authorities into negotiations, the cartel will be in control and Fidel can exploit his past relationships with them," he told the Journal's David Asman recently. The struggle against the drug lords in Colombia will be a near thing. This week, the government arrested Jose Abello Silva, said to be the fourth-ranking cartel leader. He will probably be extradited to the U.S. for trial under an extradition treaty President Virgilia Barco has revived. Later, another high-ranking trafficker, Leonidas Vargas, was arrested and 1,000 pounds of dynamite seized. Mr. Barco has refused U.S. troops or advisers but has accepted U.S. military aid. President Bush has agreed to meet within 90 days with Mr. Barco, President Alan Garcia of Peru and President Jaime Paz Zamora of Bolivia to discuss the drug problem. It might not be a bad idea to do that sooner, rather than later. After the Panama fiasco, they will need some reassurance. Certainly, the Colombian press is much in need of that.

Lagos, Nigeria (CNN) -- Nigeria's Independent National Electoral Commission is urging would-be voters to turn out for the scheduled voter registration session in January, in hopes for a "free fair and credible elections in 2011," a Commission spokesman said Thursday.
"This reassurance is necessary against the backdrop of the theft of some Direct Data Capture machines at the Lagos airport, " said Kayode Robert Idowu, a Commission spokesman in a press statement.
On Tuesday, 20 voting machines were stolen at the Lagos airport, out of a total of 6,000 brought into the country by Zinox Technologies Ltd., Idowu said. Sixteen machines have been recovered so far and security agents are investigating the case, he said.
The equipment, meant for registering voters for the upcoming election in Nigeria, is comprised of laptops and webcams. It was stolen from a clearing point at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, said Idowu.
The equipment was the first consignment ordered to help register voters for the 2011 elections.
The presidential election is expected to take place in April 9.
President Goodluck Jonathan, who became president after the death of Umaru Yar'Adua earlier this year, is running for election to the office. He will be challenged in the primaries by another former vice president of Nigeria.
Atiku Abubakar is the consensus candidate put forward by a bloc of leaders from Nigeria's influential Northern Political Leaders Forum, which announced in September that it would name someone to take on Jonathan in the presidential primaries for the People's Democratic Party.

By Associated Press Reporter PUBLISHED: 21:40 EST, 29 May 2013 | UPDATED: 22:11 EST, 29 May 2013 Four teams of architects presented plans Wednesday for a reimagined Penn Station that would be a spacious, welcoming gateway to New York City instead of the crowded, confusing and dark transportation hub now used by hundreds of thousands of daily commuters. The four firms that took part in a design challenge sponsored by The Municipal Art Society all said the only way to improve Penn Station would be to move Madison Square Garden from its current home atop the train station. John Fantillas of H3 Hardy Collaboration Architecture said the arena crowds the station 'like three fat men in a rowboat.'
